Ken - is there much to be gained by having the manifolds ported whilst they are off the car? There is quite a bit of overlap on the outlet, but I'm not sure if it is designed that way to vector the gasses towards to wheel at more of an angle.

Vector the gases ??

wow , you been reading a dick and mary ?

I would suggest that smooth is the way to go with no obstruction. Turbo boost just pushes it out and you want it down the pipe as quick as possible.

Any idea where to get it done then Ken - I got a dremmel tool but I don't think I should touch them unless I know what I'm doing...

Any head type shop can do them.

Lumpy did mine .

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
